Who will be the first entertainment stars to threaten to deny the US their presence if (insert
candidate name here) is not elected. First on left and first on right.


Mel Gibson might be far enough out of the public doghouse to threaten to deny us his presence first.

On the left, I'll go with the old standby, Streisand.

1. Problem is, nobody would MIND if Mel left.
He'd have more impact if he threatened to stay.

7. Nah, Mel wouldn't wanna go there, now that they've got a Labor government

And they've apologized to the aborigines.

Besides, Mel was actually born here(in Peekskill, NY, the town where they beat people up just for going to a Paul Robeson concert) and then his Holocaust denier daddums moved the family there.

3. Did you see Alec Baldwin on 60 Minutes?
He was the person originally crucified for making those remarks... only he never quite said that, never said he threatened to leave, only that with bush in power it seemed like a good idea. The interview was too recent for this not to make this thread a big fail.

And when Grandpa McLoon loses, I'll be happy to drive the dumb son of a bitch to the airport.

10. It's just funny, their idea that voters will feel such guilt from their no longer walking among us
that it would influence a vote.
